Hold your hand grinder almost horizontal to slow feed like Lance and others have discussed. Graphs on the left are consecutive days grinding vertical. Graphs on the right are grinding vertical (grey) vs almost horizontal (yellow). This is a Kinu Phoenix and the Pressensor app with a Decent Scale.
Inspired by a recent commenter who described something like this. Quite a dramatic effect!

My wife’s first comment; “So what does it taste like?” Very proud. To answer; somewhat different, with a bit more clarity. Next step is to grind finer now I can …
Will try!
I also tried this and immediately noticed how much finer I can grind. Not sure if I can taste more but if it’s more even particle sizes thats nice I think! Only downside is I grind twice as long now. For medium roasts I always tilted the grinder but only about 45°, this will be interesting.
Was it the blade grinder comment?
I really don’t feel like watching the Lance video everyone is talking about. Do you have to adjust anything else to do this new thing, or just put the beans in more slowly?
I swear this sub supercedes itself with more nuances every month which likely result in negligible improvements :).
Incidentally, I’ve been grinding like this intuitively for awhile.
Funnily enough I already hold my grinder like this because it feels easier on my arms lol
Did they discuss grinding speed with manual grinders? Is that supposed to make a significant difference as well?
I’ve now actually watched u/lance-hedrick’s video now, and he grinds like this too 😄
